Hey family!!
Haha, dad, why
did you ask if I was transferred? Of course I was
transferred! My new area is awesome. I love it here!! My new
companion is Elder Morales from Nicaragua. He lives in the
mission where Connor Kendrick is serving! So, I got here on
Wednesday at like 4am after a really long bus ride. I tried
to sleep, but it was really hard with all the curves and
bumps along the way. I woke up to a really humid air, and I
was sweating already. We got off the bus and got all my bags
and walked to our apartment about a block away from the bus
terminal. I showered in cold water, which was nice, and got
to bed. I woke up at about 8ish, to roosters making that
annoying sound that they make. I was pretty tired, but we
went to our district meeting where I met my new district as
district leader! In my district are the sisters and the zone
leaders. It was interesting giving my first lesson as a DL,
but it went pretty well as we talked about some problems
that we have here in the zone. We also talked about
solutions and how we can achieve them. I think it went
pretty well.
So, the new
zone where I am is called Quillabamba! Its semi-jungle, but
my sector looks and feels just like the jungle. Its really
hot here, really humid, but right now it’s the rainy season.
So it doesn’t get as hot as it normally does. But just
sitting here in the internet café, I’m sweating. It’s a big
change from Cusco, but I love it! The work here is great.
The leadership in our branch is so-so. We are just a
district here in Quillabamba. But I really like it. We are
finding a lot of great people to teach. I am feeling normal
now health wise, and I am back to normal! So, dad, don’t
worry about my sickness! Thanks for caring, but I’m fine
now.
Well, I don’t
have much time to write all that I would like to, but I am
really happy to be here in Quillabamba. Oh, happy new year!
I kinda forgot about that. Ha, but yeah needless to say
there was a lot of drunk people passed out in the streets.
Gotta love Peru!
I love you all!
Thanks for your support and love. Till next week!
